Lucky Number Seven

Seven 85

This week was going great, for the first time in a long time everything seemed to be going perfect. Me and Tyson's relationship was better than ever, my mom seemed to getting better, Gabriel and Tyson were finally friends, my football team was undefeated and most importantly me and Tion were talking again. I thought back to yesterday when me and Tion saw each other for the first time since he left. When I first saw him I didn't know what to say or do. I felt bad for how I had treated him the last time we saw each other and I didn't know if he was pissed at me for actin the way I did.

YESTERDAY

"Ty can you take my stuff out to the car I'll be out in a minute." I said to Tyson without taking my eyes off Tion. For the longest time I played this scenario over and over again in my head. Would I still be pissed when I saw him? Would I try and fight him again? Now that he was finally standing in front of me I felt that he was the last person I needed to forgive.

"How have you been Seven?" Tion asked quietly, the look in his eyes told me he was nervous and was unsure of what I was about to say.

"Damn what happened to Baby Bro? What you thought I would still be mad at you for that lil misunderstanding we had last time you were here?" I said smiling. Tion looked at me and smiled back, then walked over and hugged me.

"Damn looked who finally grew up. For a second there I thought you were going to hit me again." Tion said sitting on my bed.

"Man I been grown, but I'm sorry for hitting you........ the second time, the first time you deserved it. "

"Yeah whatever I'm sorry to about........ you know. But I see ya'll back together, when did this happen?" Tion asked.

"A couple weeks ago. But what's been up with you, how's LSU treating you?" I asked sitting next to him. I looked at Tion and saw he had that nervous look in his eye again. "T, what's up?"

"Aight Seven you gotta promise not to tell anybody aight?" Tion said seriously. I just nodded my head and continued. "Well I've been dating this chick named Mireya since I got down there, but I'm kinda feeling somebody else."

"Okay what's the big secret?" I asked confused.

"His name is Marcellus." For the longest time I just stared at him, trying to process what he saying. "Seven did you hear me?" Tion asked.

"Yeah I'm just trying to wrap my mind around it. How did this happen T?" I asked and Tion went on to explain about how he met Marcellus and how he got in to it with Marcellus' boyfriend for cheating on him and calling him Tito, which I still found funny. Later that night I talked to Tion again and he told me he'd tell me everything after his game. I couldn't wait to talk to him again, I finally had my best friend back.

PRESENT

Everybody was going crazy because we won the game, but most of the people were more excited about the party. After I was showered and everything I met Tyson in the parking lot. I knew the minute I saw him something was wrong. He just had that look in his eyes that told something was really bothering him.

"Babe you alright?" I said once we got in the car. Tyson didn't say anything he just looked at me, like he was seeing me for the last time. "Ty is everything good, what's wrong?" I asked again.

"Seven I need to tell you something. Promise not to interrupt me." Tyson said.

"Aight babe I promise." I said just so he could tell me what was going on.

"The other day when I was at Fabian's house I........."

"WAIT WHAT? TY WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING AT THAT NIGGAS HOUSE?" I yelled. I was so pissed that my hands started shaking.

"We were finishing this project we had to do. Now will you please let me finish?" Instead of answering him I took ten deep breaths looked at him. "Well anyway when I was over there Fabian's maid Nettie pulled me to the side and told me that Fabian and two other people were planning on hurting you. She told me that Fabian had hurt somebody before and she felt that I should stay away from him. Later that day my parents told me that Fabian's maid had a really bad accident and was in the hospital. I was waiting until I got more information before I told you, but earlier I saw Fabian, Derrick and Raymond. So I started to piece together that they were the ones that were trying to hurt you." Tyson said looking me in the eyes.

"What happened when you seen them?" I asked getting more and more pissed by the second.

"Me and Gabriel started walking away when Derrick pulled Gab away and they started arguing, then Gino showed up and pretty much save him. Then we went back to our seats." Tyson finished. I took another deep breath before I started talking again.

"Alright look Ty, I'm not worried about either one of those niggas okay? There not going to do shit to me. So if that's what your worried about then don't because I'm not going to let them get that close to me."

"Okay but Seven what is Gino's moms name?" He asked. For a second I was confused about what that had to do with anything.

"Miss Arnetta, but why do you wan............." I started to say but Tyson cut me off.

"Seven, Fabian's maids name was Nettie, she's in the hospital with a broken neck just like Gino's mom. She ended up in the hospital the same day that Fabian walked in on her warning me about Fabian. She said Fabian had hurt somebody before and I swear she was about to say Aaron."

"Aaron? Tyson you don't think that it's Izayah's Aaron do you?" I asked. Now I was starting to see why Tyson was so nervous. If everything he was saying was true then Fabian was a lot crazier than I even imagined.

"Seven I don't know but, we have to find out from Gino's mom. Seven promise me you won't say anything until we talk to Nettie alright." Tyson pleaded with me.

"Look Ty I don't know if I can do that. These are my boys and if this nigga did everything you think he did then they have just as right to know as I do. But look here's the deal you have three days to find out what you wanna know or I'm telling them and we're going to handle this nigga whether he's guilty or not." I said to Tyson.

"Okay but please Seven don't say anything to them." Tyson said. I nodded my head to let him think that I wouldn't say anything but in truth I was going to tell them as soon as I saw them.

"Look Ty don't worry about it anymore tonight. Let's just go enjoy this party, okay." I said with a smile. Even though I was smiling on the inside I was ready to kill somebody named Fabian. I have a feeling that this was about to get a whole lot worse for everyone involved.
